About This Quote
Shakespeare's "Prithee," he protested, "if thou wouldst wait a goddamned second" is a good example of how to ask for help. The quote is a bit more complex than that, but the gist is that Shakespeare wrote this in response to a question from his friend and fellow playwright Ben Jonson. Shakespeare was feeling unwell and Jonson wanted to know how he felt. Shakespeare replied, "Prithee, if thou wouldst wait a goddamned second," which is about as succinct as you can get when it comes to asking for help.
